Loi Suites was our hotel in Puerto Iguazu in Misiones. This was one of the most beautiful hotels we stayed in during our South America trip. The lobby and the entire hotel is posh and sophisticated yet warm and inviting.
There is a lot of comfortable seating in the lobby area. My mom and I actually spent a couple of hours here in the late afternoon just lounging about while it was raining outside.
The rooms are in separate buildings. To get from one building to the next, you have to pass through wooden suspension bridges amidst the tree tops. Our room was two buildings away from the main lobby so we had to cross two bridges. I'm sure it wouldn't be easy to bring your luggage across - thankfully, our porter helped us - but these bridges do give guests a very unique and fun experience (and it provides a lot of cool photo opportunities).
Loi Suites has a beautiful set of swimming pools. Unfortunately, we didn't get to use them because of the bad weather.
Our room was built cabin-style, making it cozy and comfortable. It was also very spacious and had a beautiful bathroom. (I did find the lighting a bit dim.)
Before spending a relaxed afternoon at our hotel lobby, we enjoyed some coffee at the hotel restaurant. I also ordered a chocolate mousse. It was delicious.
I will say that the problem with this hotel is its location. There are no shops or restaurants nearby. As such, we had dinner at the hotel restaurant. Interestingly enough, there was another Filipino with her non-Filipino husband there and we talked a bit. They were going to Iguazu Falls the next day so we showed some of our pictures and we shared our experiences with them. The food at the restaurant was good and the service was excellent.
While this hotel is very high-end and provides its guests with a very luxurious stay, there is a downside. As mentioned, the location is not ideal since it is a bit isolated. You can take taxi to the city center and I believe the ride will take around 20 minutes. Unlike some other hotels, they don't exchange foreign currency. That said, I do think we wouldn't have felt these drawbacks as much if it wasn't raining heavily; if the weather was good, it would have been easy enough to take a taxi to the city center to exchange money, shop for supplies like water, and have a more inexpensive dinner.
If there are good hotel options at the city center of Puerto Iguazu, it might be better to book a hotel there just so that you can spend a bit less and explore a bit more. That said, Loi Suites is a beautiful place and our stay here was great overall. I also really like the experience of walking on the wooden bridges. If the weather is good, this is a very good place to stay.
